The film is more interesting than the average bad movie precisely because it so gratuitously, and even thematically, fails to fit together.

This is a rite-of-passage film, with action, romance and self-realization woven in. But unlike some others of this genre, Divergent is thought-provoking teen sci-fi.

... Divergent, despite multiple claims otherwise, tries to capture the format of The Hunger Games but completely phones in almost each element.

Dramatically, Divergent wanders, but over rich philosophical soil.

If I had to join a faction, I'd be looking for one called Bafflement or Exasperation. After spending the best part of five hours watching Divergent and Only Lovers Left Alive, I understand why audiences are flocking to see the Muppets and The Lego Movie.

Science fiction it may be, but the essence of the film is that timeless adolescent conundrum: who am I?

Mar 30, 2016Yes! A new movie based on some weird young adult novel. And honestly, this movie doesn't really anything new to the genre. This movie is actually incredibly boring and uninteresting. I did never read these books so I don't know how much is directly adapted, but I know that it's incredibly sloppy written and really slow paced at some points in the movie. However, the performances in the movie are actually enjoyable almost all-over. Shailene Woodley is pretty good as Tris, while Kate Winslet kills it as the villain in the movie.Lasse G Super Reviewer

Feb 09, 2015Was surprisingly entertained by this lab experiment mashing up The Hunger Games, Twilight, and other random young adult fiction. I hear they're making a sequel? Might check it out despite not caring where the characters really go barring some nude scenes.Patrick W Super Reviewer
